Finding Radiance

You just never know what can happen to you when you have a blog.  I get tons of pitches to sell this and that or review this and that.  I am usually pretty picky about that stuff and I don’t do most of them. Anyway, I received a nice item in the mail this week. [...]

It’s bagel day!  I wasn’t sure we were going to be able to bike, as it looked like it was threatening rain.  However, we went anyway.  Here is my bike all locked up at the bagel place. In the past, we didn’t really lock up our bikes at this place very often, but now I [...]

Full 8 hours of sleep last night!  Guess I need to bike 40 miles in order for that to happen.  Legs felt decent, so we went ahead and bike to Panera Bread.  I forgot my jacket, and it was indeed very cold in there.  Oh well, that meant hot coffee with my french toast bagel. [...]

Happy Earth Day!  The malt was quite good that John brought me last night.  It was made with maple soft serve and malt powder!  I am really sorry that I know how good that combo is…. I went to bed around 10 pm last night, hoping to get extra sleep, but I was up before [...]

** Oatmeal on The Go giveaway ends tomorrow! * It’s Wednesday!  Almost done with the work week, yay   Too cold to bike, so I drove out to the gym for the requisite lifting session!  I warmed up on the treadmill and then hit the weights: Dumbbell walking lunges:  3 sets of 8 (each leg) [...]

Happy Monday!  Waving ‘hi’ to all the new readers – there have been a ton over the past week! It felt really good to hit the gym today.  I did a power lifting workout! Chin ups:  2 sets of 2, 1 set of 1 Squats:  3 sets of 8 with 85# barbell Superset: Stationary lunge:  [...]

I was going to title this something like struggles in weight loss and maintenance, but I really want to focus on reframing that word.   Debby wrote an eloquent post on this subject the other day, and she commented to me about how it was good to hear someone else with the same issues. I get [...]

Gorgeous fall day today.  I wanted to do a run outside and it was in the mid 40s.  Perfect for running.  I wanted to do 5 miles, so I set out for that and fueled up with some POM nectarine that the Pom Wonderful people sent me.  This is really good!  I am not a [...]

I am surprised at how many of you actually eat (and like) brussel sprouts!  Yay!  Makes me wish I had bought more. Run day today and since school has started, I don’t run on the track in the mornings.  I don’t think they would appreciate a sweaty woman skulking around the school yard.  I thought [...]

Today is the day that typically marks the start of the food frenzy to the end of the year. I think a lot of people already have Jan 1st marked in the back of their minds as a point to restart, so then loosen up from now until then end of the year. Fall is [...]
